Fifty very young people from different social and territorial realities throughout Italy with the opportunity to deal with various issues that affect society. The young people work in thematic commissions on four-monthly cycles, meet via the web, once a month in plenary in groups of ten, and every four months in Rome for an in-person discussion. In this session they will deal with drug abuse and addictions, active citizenship and problems of child labour.
«It is a great opportunity for me to address crucial issues on which to develop initiatives that affect my land - explains Adriana Garcia La Mantia - for some time I have been dealing with problems and the good of our city within the scouts between events and volunteering and, precisely for this reason, I am happy to be part of the Cnrr which offers me the opportunity to compare myself with other young people with whom I can create initiatives capable of improving and solving any problems by making the relevant considerations". It was proposed by his technical camp scout leaders, by virtue of his participation in the camp's reporter projects. Adriana received the news of her entry into the Cnrr from her scout department head, Sandra Contini. A unique experience to continue to grow and to feel an active part of the community.
